  • We took a break from the mountains this week. We originally weren't going to film this, but swimming with sea turtles has been on our wish list for awhile. Have you sawm with sea turtles before? If so, where?! We would love to know.
  • The marine turtles are so majestic!! What an amazing experience getting to snorkel with them 💙
  • @ashleyk324
    Looks like fun! That experience with the sea turtle family sounded incredible ❤️
  • Loved this video. Loved the orange nutibranch. Hope it wasn't one of the poisonous ones. Want to snorkel! Noticed the green onion pancakes and soup dumplings. Duck House!! Dan & Beth

    Looked like such a nice island getaway! Pretty inexpensive too. Always love seeing sea turtles. Used to see them a lot when we lived in the Caribbean, they're always so serene. Looking forward to your trip in Bali. Get some of that surf footage!
  • Hi Helen and Tim, I am planning to go there with my Dad and brother this month. You say we should bring cash to the hotels on Lambai Island? Does this mean that you do not book the hotel in advance, or that you book the hotel online and pay when you get there? Also, could you tell me how much it is to hire a guide? I haven't been snorkeling before, so I'm curious if it is worth hiring a guide. Thanks.
  • @teslarob4790
    Great video! I am planning a visit to this island in March - one question I have - is one overnight enough to really see it or maybe two nights absolutely needed?
  • @GhettoSuguru
    Do you guys have the name of the shop that's for renting snorkeling gear ?
